What is a Fishbone diagram?

Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa, a Japanese quality control statistician, invented the Fishbone Diagram. The Fishbone Diagram is an analysis tool that provides a systematic way of looking at effects and the causes that create or contribute to those effects. The design of the diagram looks much like the skeleton of a fish. Therefore, it is often referred to as the fishbone diagram.

Cause effect diagram is used to assist teams in categorizing the many potential causes of problems or issues that may exist in Business or even in day to day life, in an orderly way and in identifying root causes.

As problems come in many shapes and sizes, fishes also come in such an amazing variety of shapes and sizes that there is no ‘typical’ fish skeleton, So the Fishbone can be of any shape and size.

4. You may use one of the above suggested categories or combine them in any fashion or make up your own. The categories are basically to help you organize your ideas.

Use an idea-generating technique (e.g. brainstorming) to identify the factors within each category that may be affecting the problem/issue or effect being studied.

Repeat this procedure with each factor under the category to produce sub-factors. Continue asking, “Why is this happening?” and put additional segments each factor and subsequently under each sub-factor.

Continue until you no longer get useful information as you ask, “Why is that happening?”

Analyze the results of the cause effect diagram after team members agree that an adequate amount of detail has been provided under each major category. Do this by looking for those items that appear in more than one category. These become the ‘most likely causes”.

5. For those items identified as the “most likely causes“, the team should reach consensus on listing those items in priority order with the first item being the “most probable” cause.
